When the Starmoon Fruit entered his mouth, Sun Mo subconsciously bit it. It was a little hard, like a walnut that hadn't been peeled yet.
However, as his saliva moistened it, the Starmoon Fruit soon softened, turning into a puddle of liquid that was swallowed by Sun Mo.
Over ten seconds later, a surge of Starmoon Force started to form in his stomach. After that, it flowed through his meridians, reaching his limbs and bones, affecting every corner of his body.
As more and more Starmoon Force was produced, they filled up his meridians, forming a stable cycle.
Sun Mo sat cross-legged on the ground and circulated his spirit qi, allowing them to flow in the direction of the Starmoon Force and circulate through his meridians.
Very soon, Sun Mo's entire body heated up. Sweat flowed out along with the impurities in his body, but they immediately evaporated.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Wisps of white steam rose into the air.
The Starmoon Fruit gradually displayed its effects.
Sun Mo had always been cautious. After he obtained the Starmoon Fruit, he immediately went to the school library and flipped through the books, looking for information on this fruit.
However, after flipping through over a thousand books on botany, herbology, and mystical plants, he still didn't find the Starmoon Fruit.
There wasn't even a punctuation mark on the introduction.
Given Sun Mo's character, if it wasn't for the fact that he knew the system wouldn't cheat him, he definitely wouldn't eat a fruit of unknown origin like the Starmoon Fruit so easily.
Although Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo had obtained the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art, they didn't immediately comprehend and cultivate it. Instead, they hid outside the Drooping Flower Gate and stretched out their heads to look at the courtyard.
"Teacher's breakthrough feels different from others."
Lu Zhiruo spoke in a low voice.
"Shh!"
Li Ziqi placed her slender index finger on her lips and made a shushing gesture.
One must know that the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art was a peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art. The vast majority of people wouldn't be able to see it in their entire lives. If they obtained it, they'd definitely comprehend it immediately to broaden their horizons.
However, the two girls didn't. They were worried about Sun Mo's safety and were paying attention to him at all times.
Very soon, the expressions of the two girls turned into that of astonishment.
It was because Sun Mo's body started to ooze red sweat. After it evaporated, it formed a red mist. It didn't dissipate but gathered around his body.
Lu Zhiruo grabbed Li Ziqi's arm worriedly.
"Why is Teacher's advancement method like this?"
Li Ziqi was puzzled. Although her athletic ability was 0, she liked to read and had studied many ancient books before. She had memorized a lot of theoretical knowledge regarding cultivation.
"Did he eat some kind of pill? That's not right. Even if it's a top-grade medicinal pill, there will still be some medicinal dregs left in the body. It's easy to break through now, but when you reach a higher realm, it will be affected. "
Li Ziqi mumbled. To cultivators, they would usually rely on their own hard work to break through. Unless they encountered a bottleneck and had no other way, they would consume alchemy pills to help them break through.
As long as one ate the pill, there would always be a little negative effect on the body.
Given Sun Mo's current situation, he didn't have any urgent requirements for his cultivation base. Moreover, he definitely knew the drawbacks of using alchemy pills to break through.
Of course, the most important reason was that Li Ziqi believed that given Sun Mo's talent, reaching the first level of the blood-ignition realm would be as easy as drinking water!
After eliminating these possibilities, there was only one possibility left. It was that Sun Mo had consumed a natural spirit medicine.
Natural spirit medicines were pills that grew naturally in nature and weren't artificially synthesized. Such spirit medicines not only had powerful effects, but they also wouldn't have any side effects on the human body.
In Li Ziqi's mind, eighteen types of natural spirit medicines that were most suitable for the blood-ignition realm flashed through. She thought about the process of consuming them, but none of them matched Sun Mo's current situation.
Hence, Li Ziqi was at a loss again.
The blood-colored fog started to surge. Some of it transformed into stars, and some transformed into crescent moons. They surrounded Sun Mo and slowly revolved around him.
The Starmoon Fruit was silvery-white in color. Half of it had a resplendent star diagram, while the other half had a bright crescent moon diagram.
This fruit was formed after bathing under the night sky and gathering the essence of the stars and moon for a hundred years. Because of the long passage of time, the fruit contained the power of the stars.
After a cultivator consumed it, the power of the stars and moon would be stimulated, tempering the body, purifying the blood, and removing the impurities. Sun Mo's red sweat was actually a portion of the useless blood and impurities.
Suddenly!
The spirit qi on Sun Mo's body erupted!
BOOM!
The blood-colored fog, the stars, and the crescent moon directly crumbled. They were like morning fog, gushing out in all directions. Everywhere they passed by, a layer of burning blood would appear on the ground.
After successfully breaking through, Sun Mo started to regulate his breathing.
The entire process took less than 15 minutes. It was much simpler than what he had expected.
Honestly speaking, Sun Mo felt a little disappointed. He had thought that there would be some heaven and earth phenomenon.
"Teacher, congratulations!"
Li Ziqi jogged over and handed over a towel. At the same time, she congratulated Sun Mo.
Lu Zhiruo fetched a basin of water and let Sun Mo wipe his back.
"Let's take a bath directly!"
Li Ziqi suggested. Sun Mo's clothes had a large patch of dark red like it was dyed with blood. He had to clean it.
"I'll go and boil the water then!"
Lu Zhiruo immediately ran off.
"No need!"
In the past, Sun Mo would often take cold showers. Now that his body was so strong, there was no problem. He walked to the well and fetched a bucket of water. After raising it over his head, he poured it over his body.
The ice-cold well water flowed down, splashing onto his skin and bringing away the summer heat.
"Awesome!"
Sun Mo shook his head.
"Teacher, do you want to scrub your back?"
Li Ziqi held onto a bath brush and stood at the side. She looked at Sun Mo's sturdy back and blushed a little.
(Teacher's muscles are so great!)
Li Ziqi wanted to touch them.
Lu Zhiruo held onto a towel with her left hand while her right hand stretched out an index finger and poked his back.
Sun Mo jumped in fright and took a step forward.
"Eh!"
Lu Zhiruo hurriedly lowered her head.
Li Ziqi was stunned for a moment. After that, she couldn't help but laugh. She liked such a warm atmosphere.
After washing up, Sun Mo changed into the clothes Li Ziqi had prepared.
This was a moon-white long robe. Only the cuffs and collar were embroidered with golden threads. There were no other patterns or accessories. However, after Sun Mo wore it, he exuded a pure and luxurious aura.
"Teacher is so handsome!"
Lu Zhiruo commented.
Li Ziqi stood behind Sun Mo and helped him comb his long black hair into a bun.
Looking at Sun Mo's appearance in the mirror, Li Ziqi felt that the papaya girl was wrong. Handsome wasn't enough to describe her teacher's elegance.
"In the future, don't prepare such clothes. I'm not qualified to wear them yet!"
Sun Mo frowned.
The moon-white long robe with golden edges was a teacher robe that only great teachers who had obtained 'stars' were qualified to wear. If ordinary teachers wore it, they'd easily get into trouble.
"I believe Teacher will be qualified very soon."
Lu Zhiruo firmly believed.
"That's right. Teacher only needs to comprehend one more great teacher halo before the deadline for the '1-star great teacher examination' next spring. I believe Teacher will definitely be able to pass it."
Li Ziqi encouraged.
"Hehe!"
Sun Mo laughed and revealed a piece of information. "Actually, I know three great teacher halos!"
"Ah?"
Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo were stunned. After that, their eyes flashed with curiosity.
"What is it?"
Li Ziqi asked.
"Why don't you guess?"
Sun Mo kept them in suspense.
"Teacher, please tell us!"
Lu Zhiruo hugged Sun Mo's arm like a little kitten acting coquettishly to its owner, asking for dried fish.
"When the time comes, I'll naturally tell you."
Sun Mo pulled his arm out from Lu Zhiruo's embrace.
"Teacher is so annoying!"
Li Ziqi pouted her little lips.
Sun Mo patted Lu Zhiruo's head and looked at the reflection in the mirror. The Sun Mo wearing a moon-white long robe.
The '1-star great teacher examination' organized by the Saint Gate would be held in spring every year. Counting from now, there were still seven to eight months left. It was enough for Sun Mo to make preparations.
Moreover, Sun Mo had to do it because the system had issued a mission for him to become a 1-star great teacher within a year. That examination was his only chance to do so.
"If Teacher becomes a 1-star great teacher, we would also be able to do whatever we want in the school, right?"
Lu Zhiruo's eyes were filled with longing.
The students of a 1-star great teacher and the students of an ordinary teacher would definitely be treated differently.
Pak!
Li Ziqi lifted her hand and knocked Lu Zhiruo's forehead.
"What are you thinking about? Do you want to be a crab? "
Li Ziqi teased.
"I... I... just don't want to be bullied!"
At the end, Lu Zhiruo's voice grew softer.
"Someone bullied you?"
Sun Mo frowned.
"No!"
Lu Zhiruo hurriedly shook her head.
"If someone bullies you guys, remember to tell me!"
Sun Mo solemnly instructed. As a teacher, what he hated the most was bullying in the school.
"Speaking of which, Teacher, did you eat a nature fruit when you broke through earlier?"
Li Ziqi voiced out the doubt in her heart.
"Yes, I ate a Starmoon Fruit!"
Sun Mo didn't hide anything.
"Starmoon Fruit?"
Li Ziqi frowned. "Are you sure?"
"You know about it?"
Sun Mo was surprised.
"My clan's library is very big. It's a type of fruit from the Darkness Continent. It's said that it's the most suitable natural spirit medicine for those at the blood-ignition realm."
Li Ziqi recited the information about the Starmoon Fruit. Sadly, because it came from the Darkness Continent, she only had a few sentences to introduce it.
"Darkness Continent?"
Sun Mo frowned.
"This type of fruit is very expensive. Or rather, everything that comes from the Darkness Continent is very expensive. It's impossible to buy it with gold or silver. One can only barter for it!"
Li Ziqi explained.
Because of her clan, Li Ziqi had seen many secret manuals that couldn't be found in the market. Only when one's status reached a certain level would they be qualified to read them.
"Where can I buy it?"
Sun Mo was curious.
"The various large auction houses or the underground black market!"
Li Ziqi spoke concisely. "However, everything that comes from the Darkness Continent is highly sought-after. Not only are they expensive, but they're also very hard to snatch."
Li Ziqi was a sensible girl. Although she really wanted to know where Sun Mo got the Starmoon Fruit from, she knew that such a question might cause her teacher to hesitate whether he should answer or not. Hence, she tactfully didn't ask.
"Hmph, I told you long ago that the goods sold in the system merchant store are all good stuff!"
The system was very complacent and had a look of disdain on its face.
Sun Mo couldn't be bothered with it. He got up and headed out. "Let's go to the courtyard to spar. Let me see your combat capabilities!"
Just when Sun Mo stepped out of the door, the system's notification rang out.
Ding!
"Mission completed!"
